Smederevac Honeywell ( HON ) unveiled new capabilities for its Safety Suite 2.0 software platform on Tuesday, expanding the software's ability to monitor fleets of portable gas detection devices used in industrial environments such as refineries, chemical plants, utilities and emergency response operations. The latest enhancements add historical data analysis, forecasting tools and upgraded dashboards designed to give safety managers greater visibility into worker exposure risks, equipment status and regulatory compliance metrics. The update reflects Honeywell's ( HON ) broader strategy of growing its software and connected industrial technology businesses, areas that investors increasingly view as important drivers of recurring revenue and margin expansion. As industrial companies invest in digital tools to improve worker safety, reduce downtime and meet regulatory requirements, software platforms such as Safety Suite could strengthen Honeywell's position in the industrial automation market while creating opportunities for ongoing subscription and services revenue. The platform aggregates data from connected gas detection devices and allows managers to monitor worker safety conditions across multiple locations from a centralized dashboard. Users can review historical alarm events, identify recurring risk patterns and analyze safety trends to support investigations and employee training programs. Among the new features are customizable dashboards that consolidate compliance information, exposure data and device fleet status into a single interface. The software also provides real-time notifications to workers about critical safety events or upcoming device maintenance requirements, including bump testing. Additional capabilities include live displays of gas detector readings from field personnel and automated workflows that help organizations assign, calibrate and track portable safety devices as they move between workers and shifts. Honeywell said the enhanced soft...

Perplexity AI , the fast-growing search startup now valued at $20 billion , unveiled what it calls the first hybrid local-server inference orchestrator at Computex 2026 on Monday night, demonstrating software that autonomously decides — in real time and mid-task — which AI workloads stay on a user's device and which get routed to frontier models in the cloud. CEO Aravind Srinivas demonstrated the system onstage alongside Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan during Intel's keynote address, using Perplexity's " Personal Computer " agent to process confidential deal materials. In the demonstration, local models running on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 determined which information should remain on the device and which information could be sent to cloud-based models. Srinivas said the approach balances intelligence, accuracy, privacy, and cost. The key claim is not that a model can run locally — dozens of tools already do that. It is that Perplexity's system makes the routing decision itself, task by task, without requiring the user to choose in advance. Sensitive data like financial records or health information stays on the local machine; the heavier reasoning tasks that require frontier-scale models get sent to the cloud. One task, multiple execution locations, automatic orchestration. "No product has done this before," a Perplexity spokesperson said in an email to VentureBeat. The product is not yet available to users; according to the company, the hybrid inference feature will launch in the coming weeks. Perplexity's road from cloud-only agents to on-device AI orchestration To understand why the Computex demonstration matters, it helps to trace the product arc Perplexity has been building since early this year. On February 25, Perplexity launched Computer , a multi-model AI agent that orchestrates 19 different AI models to complete complex, long-running tasks on behalf of users. The system ran entirely in the cloud, breaking goals into subtasks and routing each to whichever model — Cla...

Getty Images Investment Thesis Momentus Inc. ( MNTS ) has been gaining momentum as a way to play the market mania in the space-themed industry ahead of the largest IPO in history, the SpaceX IPO. The company, however, is a small, cash-burning space infrastructure company competing against deep-pocketed competitors. The company does have real hardware, unlike other speculative tech companies that only have a concept for hardware. Momentus, however, is still an unprofitable company that has mainly financed itself in ways that detracted value from shareholders, such as issuing common stock, warrants, and convertible notes. To partially brighten the story, revenue increased sharply in Q1 2026, but so did the share count. Prudent investors should focus less on headline revenue and more on whether the business can scale faster than it dilutes. I view MNTS as a sell and perhaps a speculative hold for those who are optimistic. The company does have a real operation, but that is not sufficient for an investment. The current evidence is not strong enough to warrant a Buy rating, and I would want to see cleaner recurring revenue, better operating margins, and a slower rate of dilution before I change my mind. Overview of the Company Momentus Inc. is a small public space company that sells satellite buses, in-space transportation, and other space infrastructure products and services. Momentus' long-term goal is to be one of the main providers of space logistics/infrastructure. The company’s key platform is Vigoride, which can be crudely thought of as a space delivery satellite/vehicle whose main use case for clients is to host payloads, test space technology, and move satellites towards their desired position/orbit. The basic value proposition is that customers who just want to test a payload and run a mission do not need to build a dedicated satellite to do so. There is demand for this service, especially among government agencies ( NASA ), defense labs, universities, and earl...

Pentagon Restricts Press Office Access Over Privacy Concerns Via American Greatness, The Pentagon announced Monday that reporters will no longer have open access to the War Department’s public affairs office after the space was redesignated as a classified facility to accommodate staff handling sensitive material. The announcement marks the latest effort by the Pete Hegseth-led War Department to tighten operational security and reshape longstanding media access practices inside the Pentagon. Under the new policy, the Pentagon’s public affairs office has been converted into a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, commonly known as a SCIF. The office had previously allowed journalists to enter without escorts and directly approach military public affairs officials with questions. Pentagon spokesman Joel Valdez said the change was necessary because speechwriters working in the office routinely handle classified material and require access to secure government systems. “This is the most transparent War Department in history. No amount of spin from the Fake News media will change that,” Valdez wrote in a post on X . This is the most transparent War Department in history.

As a result, journalists will no longer be permitted to enter the office space. There’s nothing controversial about that,” he added. Valdez said reporters will still have access to the Pentagon press secretary and the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs through scheduled appointments.

Mark Wilson/Getty Images News Blue Origin ( BORGN ) plans to resume flights of its New Glenn rocket before the end of the year, Reuters reported Monday, citing Chief Executive Dave Limp, following last week's explosion that damaged the company's launch infrastructure at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The company has begun assessing the extent of the damage at its sole New Glenn launch complex but has not disclosed a likely cause of the accident, which occurred during a pre-launch engine test known as a hot-fire. No injuries were reported and no payload was aboard the rocket at the time. According to Limp, several critical pieces of infrastructure escaped major damage. Fuel storage systems at the launch site remain intact, while booster hardware intended for future missions also appears to have avoided significant harm. However, repairs will be required to the launch tower and other ground support equipment before operations can resume, Reuters reported. Why it matters for investors The setback underscores the growing competitive divide in the commercial launch market as Blue Origin seeks to challenge SpaceX's ( SPCX ) dominance. The accident threatens to delay launches for key customers, including Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite broadband network, while highlighting the execution risks facing Blue Origin as SpaceX prepares for a widely anticipated public offering. Investors are increasingly focused on launch cadence, reliability and infrastructure resilience as competition intensifies across the space sector. The explosion marks one of the most serious setbacks in Blue Origin's 26-year history, affecting both its flagship orbital rocket and the only launch pad currently capable of supporting New Glenn missions. The incident follows an unsuccessful New Glenn mission earlier this year and comes as Blue Origin faces pressure to increase launch frequency amid strong demand for satellite deployment services. The company had been preparing to launch 48 Project Kuiper satellit...

imaginima Blackstone Digital Infrastructure ( BXDC ) went public last month with a clear focus — to run data centers for investment-grade hyperscalers with long-term leases in tier 1 markets. As yet, it has no assets. Before its initial public offering, it was in active discussions for ~$25B of data center acquisitions. At Nareit's REITweek conference on Tuesday, BXDC President and CEO Nick Pell points out that the company will not build the data centers it operates. That contrasts with the overall data center real estate business, where most of the capital goes into development. Blackstone Group ( BX ), which it's affiliated with, grew its data center investments through a build-to-own strategy. One of the advantages of Blackstone Digital Infrastructure's ( BXDC ) strategy is the duration of the assets, which are an almost permanent infrastructure for its tenants. Leases generally run for 10 to 20 years. "The runway of growth for this company is massive," Pell said. Furthermore, the REIT is designed to be lower risk and stable by focusing on investment-grade tenants in tier 1 markets. CFO Tony Marone says public, externally managed REITs don't have a great record. "If you set up an externally managed REIT the right way, it can work," he said. The fee structure for BXDC is based on capital and the return to shareholders. The company has "set up the structure the right way to have strong alignment with our shareholders," he added. Blackstone's ( BX ) knowledge of the data center space as the largest data center developer in the world led to the formation of BXDC. Marone said the firm saw the opportunity for buying data centers coming, and "we wanted to get in very quickly." Pell sees BXDC having an edge over net lease REITs, saying it has better credit profiles and enough cash to move quickly on acquisitions. "We think we have a much better growth profile than net lease REITs," Pell said. CFO Marone points to the numbers. "We think we can buy assets at a ~6% cap rate...
